Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleJan 17, 2020
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.

SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THEY PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WHICH TEMPORARILY CORRECTED THE ISSUE. WEEKS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH COMPONENTS AT THE DISCOUNTED COST OF $2,600. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

DEALER NOW WANTS TO CHARGE A $75 INSPECTION FEE PLUS $400-$700 TO REPLACE THE UNIT, A UNIT THAT MIND YOU WAS ALREADY SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED. WORRIED AIR BAGS WILL NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A WRECK AND ALSO THAT OUR CAR WILL NOT PASS ANNUAL STATE DOT INSPECTION.

"2000 4-DOOR HONDA LX" - ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 2007, ITS SRS READINESS INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DURING ITS REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE, I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA SANTA ANA, CA AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THE SRS LIGHT WAS RESET ONLY TO FIND OUT AFTER 3 DAYS THAT IT CAME BACK ON. ON JANUARY 2008 AND MARCH 2008, THE SAME SITUATION WAS HANDLED BY SANTA ANA HONDA AND AFTER 6-10 DAYS, THE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN AND AGAIN. I WAS FINALLY INFORMED THAT THE CONTROL PANEL TO THE SRS UNIT WAS DEFECTIVE. BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED LONG AFTER THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED, THE SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED THAT IF SANTA ANA HONDA WERE TO FIX THE EQUIPMENT, IT WOULD COST ME AT LEAST $1,600 WHICH WAS REDUCED BY 30% BY ITS SERVICE MANAGER JOHN MARKER. IT WAS THEN THAT I BROUGHT UP THE CASE TO AMERICAN NORTH HONDA MOTOR CO INC AND WAS HANDLED BY WAYNE AT 1(800) 999-1009 EXT. 118198. WAYNE CALLED AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE PARTICIPATING TO THIS REPAIR BY REDUCING THE COST BY $300. IT DIDN'T MAKE LOGICAL SENSE TO ME THAT THE CONSUMER IS LIABLE FOR COSTS INVOLVED IN FIXING A SAFETY-RELATED DEVICE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT BOTH SANTA ANA HONDA AND NORTH AMERICAN HONDA ARE BOTH CONTRIBUTING TO THE COSTS OF THIS REPAIR, TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE. MY FAMILY'S 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY AND FRIENDS' 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA NEVER HAD THEIR SRS WORN OUT IN THE COURSE OF TIME, WHY WOULD HONDA HAVE THIS PROBLEM?
